Welp. :-( I just hope in ten years there aren't RPF-ers still waiting for a Bandai 1/48 Y-Wing.
Reminds me of a friend who jokes about ppl still waiting for a new Firefly season and/or Serenity sequel.
Yep. As I've posted before, 3D printing is the way forward. Tons of good garage kits out there. Don't wait for Bandai, man.I'd be very surprised if they still continue the SW line. I think if you want a 1/48 Y-Wing it's best to look other places, as in Round 2.
Help me Obi Round-Two Kenobi, you're our only hope.

Darn. Saw the Bandai thread bumped to the top and hoped they had announced something.
I always replace the cannons on all my X-Wing builds with telescoping brass tubes. They last forever, look more accurate, and it's one of the easier scratchbuilding jobs to do. If the curved "C" shaped bits toward the cannon tip are still intact, just snip those away, use a pin drill to drill an appropraite sized hole and use CA to attach it to the rod. Piece of cake.
Thanks Hunk a junk! I suspected that the brass tube would be the easiest way, but didn't realise there was a telescoping variety. Thanks for the tip!
I don't think so. I might be the Canary in the coal mine, but I just tried ordering and it got all the way through to processing the payment then failed....Hey everyone is the following sale for real?

"{This is 100% a scam." - - I thought as much.FYI, anytime you are shopping on a site like this a good place to start is the WHO IS database. The second would be obvious, nobody can even get one at the regular price and suddenly this site has them for $61....
In this case, the domain was first registered on 4/15/2022. That's pretty a new site and would be a good indicator to stay away.
Second, and this is up to the buyer to interpret, here is the contact information from the owner of the site (the contact us page says on the site says they are located in Texas, but um, I don't think so as the given address is fake and does not exist...):
